I for one didn't think i would be on here as much as i am or even keep on coming back ( i didnt even come for the free postage )
I geuss i just fell in love <3
I knew i would stay
Just came for one or two questions
I came for the free postage but ended up staying
Kinda made this my unofficial forum home after I dissolved mine. So they have had to put up with me for a looooong while. Its a great place with great people. Well most of them are anyway!Plus I again used my free Scan shippage recently, that is one BIG perk.
Was no such thing as free postage when I joined, I was part of the OCS group that were displaced when they shut up shop.
Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?
i'm still here because ive nothing better to do,
not bothered with the free postage from SCAN, its easier just driving there and picking the stuff up in a car, dont have to wait in for City Link then.
10 years now and I still pop in

There was no free postage in my day.... and the cookery forum, that was all fields
It's been so long I honestly couldn't tell you if I intended on sticking around when I first joined, I do remember what got me coming back though. There was one thread in particular in cars and bikes at the time, page after page of all the questions I'd never think to ask about cars always followed by incredibly interesting answers, it got me coming back every day in the end hungry for more wisdom![]()
I came originally as I was putting a rig together with an old T-Bird 850 iirc, whether or not I'd stick around or not wasn't any sort of conscious decision, just happened. It's the overall vibe of the place I think, along with the old Overclockingshop forum which had the same friendly atmos.
I cant remember. I think I originally posted regarding troubles with my pc (psu blowing up I think) and I was impressed with the replies I got so I decided to stick around.![]()
It's a good place to find help and give it - and that's what I like. Plus you actually stand a chance (mostly) of having a good debate here as it doesn't (always..) break down into schoolyard spats.
Plus there's a lot of beards.
IIRC I ended up here because back in the day I used to frequent the Kustom PCs forums until it descended into utter chaos and childish nonsense. I was looking for somewhere that didn't require a 'chavspk' translator for every other post.
I came before work and had been posting for months under my usual moniker - wildmonkeyuk
Then 1 magic day my name was changed to what it is now.
I came and shared a bit of NF7-S 2.0 information with everyone (yes...I came back when socket A was the daddy and the 2500 could be made into a 3200 with a bit of tweaking!)
Now I'm still here to help folks, I also post the odd post in the music section about new mixes I've found for download.
Hey, up yours, beardface!!
Seriously, QFT though, this is a much less argumentative place than many others out there and it's full of a lot of very pleasant and knowledgeable folks.
I'm not sure when free Scan postage started but I do remember finding out about it a fair while after I'd joined and looking on it as a very fine perk.
If I remember correctly (was it really that long ago I joined?!?) it was a decent atmosphere which motivated me to stay.
As to staying now, well, why not![]()
I'd say that most sites I join, I usually intend to stay - whether that actually ends up happening however is another matter, so I'm glad to still be here, and relatively active![]()
I was a long time lurker and then decided to sign up for Scan deal. Then I felt guilty and didn't want to appear like I was just signing up for the deal (!) so made over a 100 posts before placing an order!
Then I got hooked....
it was the first forum i joined about 9 years ago :| i stay because i'm waiting for the "Perfect Day" video montage to be released.. and then i shall be gone forever.... :|
